PAINT
THEIR SWASTIKA GREEN
by Brien Bartels

Whenever
a group of enviro-lefties get together a lot
of clumsy comparisons
get thrown around concerning Republicans,
free-marketeers, businessmen,
and their alleged resemblance to fascists
and Nazis. Which is odd
because those groups, however much you like
or loathe them, are of various
Christian denominations or even Jewish,
don’t advocate street violence
or eugenics, don’t tend to subjugate
individuals to abstractions like racial
purity, etc. In fact the list of
dissimilarities goes on and on.
But,
when you look at the political wing of the
environmental/socialist
movement, the various Green Parties of the
world, you see the following
ominous parallels.
The
Green Party is led by a bunch of pagan,
vegetarian dropouts.
So were the Nazis. Hitler was a failed
artist and vegetarian. The
leader of the SS, Himmler (another
soy-sucker), wanted his Black Corps
to be the vanguard of a pre-Christian
back-to-the-land movement.
The rituals and symbols he devised to
replace Christian services looked
like really bad art direction of a
performance of Wagner’s Ring Cycle
.
The
Green Party claims to stand for workers’
rights. "Nazi" is short for
National Socialist German Workers’ Party.
Sometimes
the Greens wear animal costumes to political
functions. The Nazis
went to their rallies in drag as well.
The
Greens stand up for farmers and peasants,
foreign and domestic. The
Nazis were wonderfully agrarian, even
advocating organizing farming. They
just wanted the farms to be in the Ukraine,
tended by the untermench
.
The
Greens advocate "decentralization." The
Nazis practiced decentralization
by giving their colonial governments life
and death power over the organic
farmers in their jurisdiction.
The
Greens wage a defensive war of sabotage and
propaganda for the oppressed
peasants of the world. The Nazis waged
a defensive war for the oppressed
Aryans of Central Europe.
Greens
occasionally smash shop windows to get their
point across.
One word:
Kristalnacht.
I’m
not sure, but I imagine the Greens
disapprove of smoking tobacco.
The Nazi regime tried to ban smoking in
public places, forcing its soldiers
to set an example of abstinence.
The
Greens hate guns, especially private
ownership of guns. The Nazis
inflicted on the world groundbreaking
"gun-control" laws, which they tested
by confiscating the arms of German
Jews.
The
Greens are big tree planters. Seven
years ago, an aerial survey
of the former East Germany revealed a stand
of larch in a forest of pine.
These trees, planted by an early and
flamboyant supporter of Hitler, formed
a huge bright green swastika for a few weeks
in spring and a flaming yellow
one in the fall. (Ironically, the Germans,
those engineers, fooled around
for five years before removing the swastika,
because they thought cutting
down only the larches would just leave a
swastika shaped hole in the forest.
I guess they eventually got permission to
flatten even de-Nazi-fied trees.)
The
Greens want investment in alternative
energy. The Nazis pioneered
not only synthetic oil from coal (to cope
with the small problem of a hopeless
war) they also invested a ton of Reich marks
in an alternative energy system
exploiting an until-then useless substance
called uranium.

our economy
